Chapter 175 Head

When Chen Hero headed the football into the goal, all the commentators were stunned.

Although it was only for a few brief seconds, they were indeed collectively silent.

Soon they all reacted and shouted, "Goal... Goal! Hero!! He scored!"

"This is Chen Hero's header! A long-lost way to score!"

"Header! Header! Header! Yes! You didn't see it wrong! Hero headed the football into the goal!"

"This is unbelievable! For almost a season, Hero didn't score a single header, but now he headed the football in!"

Most of the commentators were surprised, but the Chinese commentators laughed: "Hahaha! Before the game, everyone said that as long as Chen Hero's right foot could be stopped, Chen Hero could be defeated! But! Hero gave them an answer with his head—you stopped my right foot, but I still have my head!"

Yes, many Everton players had this thought when they saw Chen Hero high in the air, heading the football into the goal—you liar! You're cheating!

Everyone's thinking had been fixed before, thinking that if Chen Hero's right foot couldn't be used, he would definitely be no threat. But they all forgot that Chen Hero could also head the ball! Although I don't know why he didn't use headers, it doesn't mean he's not good at it!

So when Chen Hero jumped up and headed the football into the goal, many people were surprised and shocked, and it took them a long time to react.

※※※

The surprise was not only for the Everton players. On the Liverpool coaching bench, after coach Martin O'Neill saw Chen Hero score, the first thing he did was not jump up and cheer with his arms raised, but slap his forehead—how the hell did I forget? Chen Hero can also use headers!

He didn't use headers before because he was worried that long-term use of headers would lead to head diseases, right?

But after resting for so long, there should be no problem... Yes, there must be no problem! There are so many players in the world of football who are good at using headers, how come I haven't heard of anyone getting Alzheimer's disease or something?

Martin O'Neill didn't actually know that he was wrong. The reason Chen Hero didn't use headers was not because he was worried about dementia, but because he felt that he could still win the Golden Boot without using his best weapon, which was very challenging. Another aspect was that he wanted to take this opportunity to practice his scoring ability with his feet.

In fact, the fundamental purpose was to avoid similar situations—when his most proud scoring weapon was suppressed by the opponent by all means, he would not be without a backup weapon. When Chen Hero gave up headers and insisted on taking the path of using his feet, he was not understood by others. Many people thought he had fried his brain and officially crossed into the ranks of idiots from being a dumbass.

But now the situation proves the correctness of his decision.

If he hadn't shown the determination to break the pot and temporarily give up his headers and concentrate on using his feet, the opponent might have found a way to deal with his headers, making him miserable. What would he do then?

Fortunately, with the decision he made at the beginning, and with the efforts of this season, he wouldn't be so caught off guard now.

Chen Hero was very proud. He waved his fists at the stands and roared in his heart: "You thought you caught my weakness? Huh? You really think so? Then you are so wrong! I, Chen Hero, am... invincible!"

Now, if the opponent suppresses his feet, he will go high. If he strictly defends his headers, he still has foot skills. In time, when his left foot also achieves great success, he will be truly invincible!

You limit my right foot? I have headers!

You limit my right foot and headers, I have a left foot!

You limit my right foot, headers, and left foot, I still have free kicks!

You limit my right foot, headers, left foot, and free kicks... A team that can do this has not yet been born on this planet!

※※※

His teammates rushed up and surrounded him, patting him on the head: "Hey, Hero, why did you suddenly use headers again?"

Chen Hero patted his head: "They want to suppress me, so I'll let them know that I can't be suppressed."

"That's right, haha! Look, I said there's nothing to worry about, Hero definitely has a way!"

"Speaking of which, I really miss your headers..."

"In this game, let's use the high-altitude ball strategy!" Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to get together, Chen Hero made such a request to everyone.

"No problem, let's play high-altitude bombing! Bomb them to death!"

※※※

Chen Hero's header gave Liverpool the lead, and also put Everton in a predicament—all the preparations they had carefully prepared before the game were meaningless, so should they continue to persist?

Liverpool took advantage of their celebration of Chen Hero's goal to unify their understanding and determine their tactics, which was to abandon the strategy formulated by O'Neill before the game and directly use the simplest and most brutal tactics.

In this way, Chen Hero once again became the core of the attack.

However, Suarez did not object. He is now willing to make wedding clothes for Chen Hero—everyone has such a good relationship, why bother competing for this attacking core? It doesn't matter who does it, anyway, we are all in the same group!

The situation was already leaning towards Liverpool, but now it is directly one-sided.

Everton also had to adjust hastily and compete with Liverpool for high-altitude balls.

But this is Chen Hero's domain.

How could they gain the upper hand?

Chen Hero jumped up again and again, and Distin, who was defending him, was embarrassed, as if he had returned to the previous feeling. He felt that nothing had changed at all, and he was still so unlucky when facing Chen Hero...

※※※

A reporter in the media box suddenly laughed: "What a farce!"

What he was talking about was not the duel between Chen Hero and Everton, but what the media had longed for before the game—before, everyone thought that this game would be the key battle to determine whether Ferguson's tactics could contain Chen Hero, so they were full of expectations and wanted to witness this historic moment.

Who would have thought that the "magic skill" that everyone had high hopes for would be easily resolved by Chen Hero.

Yes, a header, a simple header, actually made everyone's longing and worries vanish.

The invincible cracking move that everyone thought was easily resolved by Chen Hero. Isn't the excitement and excitement of so many people before a joke now? Isn't it a farce?

The things we have high hopes for, people don't care at all!

We are really worrying ourselves...

Except for Chinese reporters and reporters who supported Liverpool, the others in the media box were silent, their moods were complicated, and frustration and dissatisfaction were intertwined.

Some people even wanted to shout out: "If you have the ability, don't use headers! Damn it! What kind of ability is it to use headers? You coward! Come and fight us head-on with your left foot, even if you fail, we will admire you as a man! Now, what's the difference between you and a coward? If your left foot doesn't work, just say it, why use headers? You're not manly at all, you have no responsibility!"

If Chen Hero heard their inner voices, he would probably spit on the other person's face and "呸" fiercely.

※※※

In fact, the Merseyside Derby has not been very suspenseful in the past two years, because even when Liverpool was so down last season, they were able to defeat Everton twice, just because they had a Chen Hero.

Chen Hero is really a guy born for big scenes. As long as it is an important game, his performance is impeccable—the last game against Manchester United was an accident...

As long as Chen Hero is resurrected, there is no suspense in this game. Liverpool already has the advantage on the field, and now Everton, who is playing away, can only parry and has no power to fight back. Don't even think about equalizing the score...

This game has completely lost its suspense.

In the second half, Chen Hero scored another goal, but this time he didn't use his head, but a shot with his right foot. Because Everton was confused by his header and didn't know where the focus of the defense was. If they wanted to defend the header, he had a right foot. If they wanted to defend the right foot, he had a header...

Chen Hero's second goal was scored in this way. Everyone thought he was going to fight for the top, but Chen Hero made a gesture signal to Sanchez, and the football was passed in the form of a ground ball. Chen Hero followed up with a stab shot, and the football rolled into Howard's goal...

It's that simple, he scored twice.

※※※

Before the end of the game, Suarez added the icing on the cake, locking the score at 3:0 for the team. In the end, Liverpool completely defeated Everton at home, defeating their city rivals twice this season and winning this Merseyside Derby.

However, the victory of this game itself is no longer worth discussing.

The significance of this game is that Chen Hero broke everyone's previous fantasies and told them a cruel fact—want to make me, Chen Hero, suffer? You are five hundred years too early!

After the game, a reporter asked Chen Hero angrily why he suddenly wanted to use headers again. Chen Hero shrugged: "It's nothing, because I wanted to use them."

Another reporter questioned him whether it was a bit unfair to use headers. Chen Hero laughed at the time. After laughing, he left a sentence: "Your IQ is hopeless!" Then he walked away.

Martin O'Neill also thought it was normal for Chen Hero to use headers after the game: "Even if he hasn't used headers for a long time, that's his business. He wants to head the ball, he'll head the ball. If he doesn't want to head the ball, he won't head the ball. It's such a simple thing, I don't think there's anything to discuss."

As for the left foot problem, Martin O'Neill seemed confident: "I have never worried about him in this regard, and the facts have proved that I am right!"

Many reporters booed him in their hearts—don't think we don't know what your tactical arrangements mean!

But since Liverpool won the game and Chen Hero was resurrected, then this topic is really not worth discussing anymore...

In the end, those who supported Chen Hero were happy and danced wildly, while those who opposed and hated Chen Hero were sad and indignant.

Some people even wanted to run to interview Ferguson and ask him what he thought of Chen Hero's performance in this game. But Ferguson refused to accept such an interview.

To be honest, after seeing Chen Hero head the football into the goal, he was also a little surprised, and then he stroked his forehead and laughed—he had also forgotten about this!

Fortunately, Chen Hero didn't remember it in the last league game, otherwise, he might not have been able to lead the team to compete with Manchester City for the league title...

Now he doesn't want to care about Chen Hero at all, he only cares about the league title. After pressing Liverpool under him, he doesn't want to be overturned by his rivals.
